How hard is it to be a maverick?
Text/Sofia
To be honest, when watching "Blood War Hacksaw Ridge", I sincerely thought that American war films that advocated individual heroism had also begun to take certain miraculous lines. As a result, after watching it (who made the beginning of the film indicate "This is a true story", and there was a real person at the end of the film), it turned out that the plot of the film was so different that it was true. I couldn't help but sigh, there really are such mavericks in this world.
To be independent, in layman's terms, is to be different.
Human beings have an instinctive rejection of dissidents.
Those who are different, if there are no others, pull out the sharp thorns that are not round enough, grind off the distinctive edges and corners of their bodies, and blend with the people around them. People who look up, then their fate is destined to be a lot more bumpy, and their souls will suffer from loneliness.
Qu Yuan is an example. When Qu Yuan, who "drinks Mulan in the morning, falls in the fall of the autumn chrysanthemum in the evening meal," said with emotion, "The whole world is muddy, I am alone, and everyone is drunk, I am awake", his heart is deeply lonely, desperate loneliness.
In "Blood Battle in Hacksaw Ridge", Doss, who refused to practice marksmanship, was also asked: "Are you lonely?" Different, maverick, but his heart is full, he is not alone. He has faith, he loves, and he is loved. Therefore, even though he was ostracized in the barracks, Doss was still able to answer that he was not lonely.
Love and being loved may not represent everything, but they can nourish a soul.
However, the path taken by a maverick like Doss is destined to be difficult.
In the eyes of others, a maverick person can even be reduced to the three words "madness".
The common sense that the general public knows is that you must carry a gun and use it in battle. Even if you can't fight the enemy bravely and defend your country, you can at least protect yourself and not drag everyone back. However, Doss refuses to pick up the gun. Even if he may be ruined, sent to a military court, or even imprisoned, he will never change his persistence. The reason for all this is only the word "faith". .
The cost of being different and adhering to the faith is so great, but Doss still persists. Moreover, Doss did not follow his fiancée's suggestion-just pretend to pick up the gun, so why bother to be more real? But Doss turned out to be so pure in insisting on his beliefs. He didn't measure the slightest benefit and didn't choose the lowest cost plan. He just kept himself and lived according to his own ideas, no matter what his future might be.
To be honest, seeing this, I have to admit that the United States still attaches great importance to the protection of human rights and respect for freedom of belief. Despite the suspicion of going through the back door, Doss became a sanitation who could not pick up a gun.
On the battlefield, Doss’s comrades told him that even if they had forgotten their beliefs, picked up a gun and killed people after experiencing such life and death, it was normal.
However, facing the postgraduate entrance examination of life and death, Doss still chose to stick to himself.
At this point, I can’t help thinking: Why can Doss pass down the history while other mavericks disappear in the crowd?
The answer is still the same sentence: There is a price to be paid if you want to remain independent.
Qu Yuan voted for Miluo River. He solidified the figure of independence from the world with his life.
And Doss went on the battlefield. Alone, he went deep into the enemy camp, and abruptly snatched the lives of nearly a hundred comrades in the Asura field. This sentence is easy to write, but it feels like reaching the sky. Every minute and every second is a test of life and death, not only the life and death of comrades-in-arms, but also the life and death of oneself. Every minute, there is the possibility of being discovered by the enemy, and every second is the possibility of a desperate opponent.
Doss is not a coward. On the contrary, Doss is an indomitable hero. Doss interprets his beliefs with his own actions, not holding a gun, not because he is afraid of death, but because he truly believes in gods. Doss's maverick is consistent with words and deeds.
And many people originally had a unique heart, but they were eventually polished in the world and became members of all living beings. They, without the ability to pay for their own mavericks, can only become corresponding selves.
Doss became a hero and the emotional support of his comrades.
Doss's "psychiatric" rescue behavior gave his comrades a reassurance. As long as he is there and as long as the comrades survive, he will not give up, and he will take them home.
When a person lives, whether it is the basic materials necessary for survival, such as food and clothing, or psychological feelings, what he pursues is the most fundamental sense of security. Doth's maverick, gave his comrades a sense of security, that is the way home.
